First Impressions Count!  Audit Your Club's Website & Social Media Presence With This Checklist
People who are curious about Rotary or the clubs in their area will search for your club information online. What they find will either end their interest or inspire them to learn more about your club.
 
It's not "if" they explore your club online...but "when"!  Take the time now to update, correct, and showcase your club to potential members.

Photographs of Your Events, Fundraisers & More...Do you have a Photo Release?
So you've taken great photos of your club's event, meeting, fundraiser or public event to promote on your club's website, social media, and club brochure.  Do you really need a Photo/Model/Likeness Release?  Click here to learn more.
 
Once you've taken the photos and have the signed release, what is your proof that the person in the photo actually signed the release?  You need to take a closeup photo of the person holding their Photo/Model/Likeness Release to ensure a clear one-to-one match of the person’s name with their model release.
 
Each Rotary Club should keep photo releases, plus the closeup photo of the person holding their signed release:
  • Signed by both parents if the subject is a minor (under age 18)
  • And/or signed by the subject if the subject is an adult (age 18 or older).
If the Club has such a release and photo evidence, then the Club may use images of the subject in its PR, on its website, etc. The responsibility for obtaining and retaining releases should be coordinated with the Club’s youth program chairs and the Club’s board of directors.
 
Before use, please verify with your club’s attorney that the form is appropriate for use by your club and meets your club’s local jurisdiction legal requirements.

Our District 5890 Public Image Guides
 
These guides are to help our Rotary and Rotaract clubs find important tips, ideas, and links to help them promote their clubs.
 
 
 
 
A brand is more than a logo, and Rotary’s brand is much bigger than its wheel. It’s a perception: it’s how others think about us, not just how we see ourselves.
What's Brand Center?  It's where you find all of your resources for telling your club's story in a consistent and engaging way:  Logos, PowerPoints, Photos & Video, Brochures & more!
The Club Public Image Committee works together to create and implement a plan to tell
Rotary’s story to the public, and to promote the club’s projects and activities.
Helping your community learn more about what your club does creates opportunities for membership and partnerships.
